Butterfly Cloches

Butterfly Cloches

Capture a Victorian cabinet-of-curiosities vibe—minus all the hunting and gathering—with faux butterflies. To create the vignette shown here, we applied a technique featured in the book Design*Sponge at Hometo a graceful glass dome ($125; jaysonhomeandgarden.com). Using a serrated knife, cut a one-inch thick circle piece of Styrofoam into a five-inch circle. Next, cut a nine-inch circle from black velvet. Pull the fabric over the Styrofoam until taut and affix underneath with straight pins. Using our photo as a guide, cut pieces of 22-guage wire to various heights that fit within the dome. Place a dot of superglue on one wire end before sliding it into a butterfly's body; hold in place until dry. Repeat for each butterfly. Finally, insert the wires into the Styrofoam base, then top with the glass.

Papier-Mâché Marquee Letter

Papier-Mâché Marquee Letter

Take a cue from vintage movie theater marquees and put your name in "lights"—no wiring required. Use a craft knife to cut off the front of a papier-mâché letter ($4.99,joann.com), then paint it your desired color and let dry. Affix small gold Christmas ornaments (about 1" diameter) with hot glue. That's a wrap!
